Fender Greta

This fender Greta amp will power on and sounds alive, but it isn’t putting out any sound from the guitar. I had been playing it through a Dean Markley speaker cab with a Vox Stomplab IIG modelling pedal when it stopped working. I did use this combo a few times before disaster struck. I think the fuse is still good- the multimeter beeps and reads close to zero ohms.

Any ideas what the issue might be? I thought the impedance was 8 for the cab and 8 for the amp but perhaps I have that wrong.

Thanks in advance- trying to save a visit to the repairman but I am aware of the dangers in tinkering here.

Tone potentiometer stuck on 1, still turns

It turns normally, but doesn't change the sound. From what I can hear, the high frequencies are severely hampered. Does that just mean it gave up the ghost while turned down low and is now stuck that way?

I'm going to swap it out, but I'd love some insight into what has occurred.

Odd looking duck

I had thought it was a mallard hybrid with a harlequin but i see that’s not possible. My picture is bad, but there was something very Mallardy about it, but maybe it was just a Harlequin

Gibson Matte Lacquer Advice Needed

I’m sprucing up a secondhand 2012 Les Paul Studio with matte black finish and it’s got speckles and blemishes. Should I attempt any special cleaning or polishing? I know nitro is supposed to age in mysterious ways so I figure it might be permanent and ill advised to tamper with nature here. Cheers y’all!

Severe backbow warping

This unfinished neck sat for a year or so and I think it warped. I’ve loosened the truss rod and raised the saddles to no avail. I don’t suppose a shim might get me there? Am I cooked?
